I actually think that the world of Final Fantasy XV is
the world at the end of Lightning Returns and that the "Etro" of this world would be Lightning.
I don't know,
Joking, They kind of did it already in Xenoblade =P

- Start date
I know you are joking but please don't joke something like that....please...
Just a red herring. Anything is possible with time travel.
Maybe avoid Lazy and instead say expedient?

Hmm, not really what I'm talking about though.
More like, imagine if XCX was Earth, NLA was just LA, and everything around it is whatever XCX currently has around it.
And then they would show something like that exploration trailer and Takahashi would just say "yeah, that's the United States. The game takes place on Earth."
Whatever you want. It was corners they cut to get the demo out in time.

I don't think the game will reach the quality we saw in the walkthrough vid (including grass, lighting, shadows etc). But I'm not complaining either way.
I would not mind, alternate reality is fun and Earth already is full of crazy awesome landscapes.
But after the demo hits I would like to see how interactive are going to be the cities and if they can show more areas, but of course I don't want to rush them =/

I think it'll look slightly better than it will in the demo. I don't expect the graphics to get much better across the rest of development but I do think that there will be some improvements made in the long run. Aren't things like this sort of hit on toward the end of development?
Yes.

I prefer to have lower expectation. Great if they improve it, and no issues if it stays the same.
People abusing return policies will make the trade value of Type-0 plummet faster than usual, but that's about it. If SE were shipping Duscae on an additional disc, maybe something would happen. GS can't do anything about bonus voucher codes though and the trouble wouldn't be worth it if they could.

Yup. I want a dev to just do something crazy like that.
Not a crazy future, not a different dimension, not primitive Earth. Just today's Earth with all that crazy landscape around. I can't name a single game that did that actually =X
Also, yeah, I want to see cities. But I fear I already know how they are =P
Yup, optimization is one of the last things (along with QA and stuff).
GS has to be smart enough to know that the demand for used Type-0 is going to be ridiculously low compared to the number of people willing to turn the game in. Well, in comparison to other games, at least.
I don't think they're even going to wait for the trade value to plummet.

I wouldn't mind if Lightning made it into FFXV as DLC... Just so i can personally Slay her with the phantom swords with the prince.

True to a degree though. I think the AI still could be bad no matter what your gambits are and I really hope that isn't the case

what is SE pedigree in regards to A.I ?

I think it sounds like a cool little connection too, although I could see the majority of people being overly dramatic about it saying it ruins the game for them or something. As long as it's kind of just hinted that there is a connection there, and they don't make it a big deal or whatever, then it'd be fine.
I always wanted her as a secret boss though.
I honestly always liked her character in FFXIII, I just hated the direction she went in the others.

Lightning is awesome when you ignore everything related to her.

Not really though.
If you can set priorities on how to attack, heal and buff, then how can the AI fuck up?
FFXII works pretty flawlessly if you set up your gambits good (might take a second before they obey the command though, but that's probably PS2 limitations).

I'd rather she stays in her game and not be any part of other mainline FFs. Haven't 3 games been enough? You can look forward to KH3 for more Lightning.

can we have noctis as a secret boss in KH3? similar to Sephiroth XD
Noctis seems like a really likable guy protagonist. wouldn't be surprised if he's top 5 by the time we all play the game.

If it is a system poorly implemented then they still could is my point. While I do concede that the AI seems to mainly be on the player though which I do like alot. Also we don't know about enemy AI yet, but we will find out! I just want to get my hands on it to know how it will work. I am not too worried. I am just curious about it.

Considering that other party members are more like supporting characters in battles, most of the damage output still has to come from Noctis. Thus, I don't think we'll be that dependant on their A.I. They really just have to do their jobs and be quick on their feet to heal/revive/cure status ailment and evade incoming enemy attacks.
Or maybe if there is a Gambit-like system, we can turn them into something more than just supporting characters in battles, if we know what we're doing.

It's wouldn't even be a thing though, is my point. I don't care if it happens, but I do think it'd be a cool connection if it did. Definitely nothing ruining in any way.
I never played the other games... felt less inspired to the way the butchered her outfit. OG Lightning is one of the top 5 FF character designs ever.

If it's based on her looks and looks alone(meaning she's a blank character if we forget everything the FFXIII attempted to write her as), I'm pretty sure she could be a great character... in a capable writer's hands.
Would love a Colosseum battle 15 battles long where you fight the main character from each Final Fantasy game

wouldn't that be dissidia? ;P
Yes, but with a good battle system
Icyflamez96

You mean in regards to my opinion of her? Not really just how her design changed, but the circumstances she was put in, and she always just seemed blank, and empty in FFXIII-2. I dunno, she had way less personality and lost that sassy charm I thought she had from FFXIII (I know I feel redundant using blank again after you but that's how I see it)
Plus I really liked her development with Hope, I respected the goal she had of saving her sister, I liked her development with Snow. She did some cool shit in cutscenes. I liked her outlook. I just liked her character in that game lol.

Exactly. I didn't even bother with Duodecim coz Dissidia had such crap combat.

Nostalgia for the Nintendo DS is what you are describing, I liked it even if it got boring in some parts.
I am really excited about this, sadly I would not have the chance to try the demo but I hope that the impressions are good. Also hoping that the feedback that SE receives from this is balanced and not just hundreds of "I want more pretty" =/
There's just something about Lightning

Never heard of this game before
It actually looks pretty fun. I'm going to check it out. Thanks!
And I think we'll get less feedback related to graphics and we'll get people going "give us playable characters!!" or something like that...
But I also won't be able to play the demo, so I'll be here on the sidelines to wait for the general impressions (which 90% of the times is different than my own tastes D=)

Hell, I wouldn't even mind if they expand it into more than just main characters from past FF. Let us fight past FF villains, let us fight past FF side characters. Have some epic Noctis vs Cloud+Squall action. Or Noctis and others vs a random team of four made of past FF characters, team vs team battles.
That's not to say we neglect regular monsters colosseum battles. Hoping for challenging secret bosses like Shiryuu, Chupon, Ultros, Ultima Buster and other past FF superbosses to be fought there, plus of course plenty of new ones. 'Weapons' and Gilgamesh should have their own dedicated quest line and design though, not just merely found in colosseum.
I mean, it's going to plummet. Will it be a cheap trade out of the gate? Probably!
It's been a while.. but didn't they
end up on real life earth? I swear I saw a french sign at the railway station

It's not. It would be nice if people stopped saying it too. It's more of annoyance now than funny.

It depends on who you think Lightning is speaking to anyway at the end. What if it isn't to
the players but to the worshippers of Etro in the XV world?
